MAJOR DORIAN SHOT.
The Man Who Shot Flynn Catches
Three Bullets Himself.

FORT SMITH, Ark, July l6.-To- might
about ten o'clock Ma ior Doran went into
the gambling house OF Pink Fagg. Being
under tho influence OF whisky, he made 4
little more noise than Fags wanted, and
they had difficulty, but before anything
was done they were separated by an Officer.
DOran went on, and in short while came
back and tho officers kept themselves with
them until Doran made tho remark that
he would go home, and he started and stop
ped at tho PhoeaiN saloon, and while he
was standing there, Officer Surratt saw
Fagg approaching with a pistol in his hand
behind him. The officer attempted to got
there, but Fagg rushed up within four feet,
and without Il word raised. his pistol and
fired, and before Doran could get his pistol
Fagg had fired thrce shots. At tho third
shot DOran fell, but, getting on the ground,
he fired three shots ut Fagg, who was run
ming. Eagg was not hit. Doran was hit
three times, once i'll tho wrist, once in the
left breast, above and to tho left of the
nipple, and again below and three inches
to the right of tho nipple. 1t is supposed
that the last shot is fatal. Doran has the
reputation as the man that killed Flynn
at Hot Springs. Fagg has served two
terms in tho Missouri Ponitentiary, one
for shooting Il boy three years ago last
Fourth Of July at Pierce City, Mo, and
again for shooting his wife.
Maj. Doran, several years ago, was Il res-
ident of this place. He will DO remembered
by the older citizens of Monroe who woro
sportiyely inclined.

uou. {. j. Roatncr for u. =. Senator

The Trinity Herald dominates Hon.
Charles j. Boatner for the Senate Of the
United States from Louisiana, and asks
for second. Tho Sentinel cheerf,llfy en-
dOrses the Herald's nomination, and asks
that the press of North Louisiana give Mr..
Boatncr that support which his talent, fit
ness for the position and democracy entities
him to.
1t cannot be denied that this part of the
State should send one Of the Senators to
Washington. In all Louisiana there is not
man more thoroughly capable of repre-
senting the people in tho South than Char
les J. Boatner. He is ripe scholar, an
able lawyer, pure statesman, and Withat
one of the Sonth's staunchest Democrats.
In the U. S. Senate his services would be
invaluable and Louisiana would stand side
by tide in point of intellectual ability, with
any State in this great Union. Mr.. Boatner
is not a politician-he is Il statesman-a
great orator. He would take position Sec
ond to no Senator in the nation and would
WELD an influence in national legislation
for the welfare of his State and tho whole
country.
Again wo heartily endorse the uerald's
nomination with the hope that our next
Legislature may be instructed by the people
that they desire Mr. Boatner's election
Mofch0Wsc Sentinel.
We can give you good hearty shake
brother Brigham on your proposition.
North Louisiana is entitled to and should
have one OF the u. S. Senators and no better
man can be presented anywhere that Clias.

will they Swap Horses While Crossing
the Political Stream
(ShrepOrt Timcs)


Not long since prominent Ouachita
lawyer and astute politician, Hon. i. p.
Stubbs, foil to talking on the gubernatoriaI
prospect. The conversation in question
being reported, ELECTED the following COM
ment from the Ouachita Telegraph, pub
lished at Gov. McEnery's own home:
Mr.. Stubs is conceded to be an astutc
politician and his opinions are worthy of
every consideration. Just as the Telegraph
stated months ago, nearly every man, wo-
man and child in Ouachita parish is the
personal friend of Gov. McEnery, and while
many do not approve his administration,
they will support him from personal con
siderations. We can not agree with Mr..
Stubs, however, that Gov. McEnery will
gain, or is gaining strength in North Louis
lana, especially west of the Ouachita. With
New Orleans against him, then, and a large
portion OF South Louisiana (the Nichols
parishes) opposed to him, and tho middle
hill parishes of North Louisiana in'favor OF
third man, we can not see much chance
for Gov. McEnery. Mr.. Stubbs undoubtedly
spoke from honest conviction and he made
out a very damaging case against his
fayorite.

Tho following appeared in the last issue
of the West Monroe Union:
The Ouachita Telegraph, having announ-
ced the Hon: C. j.. Boatner as it's candi-
posted as to tho political opinions of Mr..
Boatner on matters Of public importance.
Will the Telegraph please enlighten the
public on two points?
tariff question
Ind. In the event of contest for polit-
zeal supremacy in this parish-the negroes
whites by considerable majority on the
other, on which side will his influence be
given?
tho public would Ikea short plain state
ment OF Mr.. Boatner's position. Il.
Mr. Boatner can better explain his posi-
ton on public questions than the Telegraph
can for him. The Telegraph is never at a
loss, however, to account for it's position on
any and all questions.
1t the first place it is universally con-
ceedcd that Mr. Boatner is we'll qualified
and we'll fitted for tho position. North
Louisiana demands one of the positions
and the Telegraph will not be found OK
ploring other folds for a candidate w hen
one, the equal of any, is to DO found ut its
very door, a neighbor and warm personal
friend OF the editor of the Telegraph. He
is Il true friend, a true man, true Demo-
crat and a home man. Why should we not
support him?
But We think we can satisfactorily answer
the queries prorounded by T. And in the
first instance we speak for Mr.. Eoatner and
not for the Telegraph.
How does Mr.. Boatner stand on tho
tariff question? From all his public utter
ances we gather that he is tariff for
revenue only" Democrat. In other words,
he is opposed to all taxation beyond the
necessities of the government economically
administered.
AS to his position in parochial affairs we
believe he differs with the Telegraph or
matters of policy. And in that we concede
him the same sincerity and purity o
motive that we know actuates tho Tele
graph. But when it comes to the question
of North Louisiana's right to name ono o
the United States Senators, and we have
right here n home a man in every way
qualified for the position, and that man i:
our warm, personal friend, we think the
Telegraph is sufficiently independent, broa,
aud liberal, to rise above our local cont test:
aud give him an earnest, consistent and
hearty support.

ton people in the next State convention

But this is not all. There lives down in

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Knobloch. He has
always been known as strong admins
tration man. lie may be so To-day, for
aught we know. But facts are not lacking
to show that the Acknowledgement is
not "wholly, utterly and entirely" Il Me
Emery man. The new paper OF that parish,
the Democrat, established only Il few weeks
since. comes 10 the front with the statement
that ga third man. will probably win
who this third man will be is the question.
Now it must be remembered that some
months since Lieutenant- G overnor Knob
loeb, III an interview with Il City Item re-
porter, said:
When the nominating convention meets
there will be Il certain number OF admins
tration and Observation-Disclosures ion delegates,
with several parishes doubtful. These
doubtful delegates hold the balance of
power, and the man who controls them can
secure the nomination for governor. AT
the last convention 1 held the balance Of
power and gave the nomination to Gov.
McEnery. will not say that 1 am not a
candidate for Governor, though do expect
to hold the balance OF power as did at the
last convention.
Can there be any doubt that tho third
man of whom the Democrat speaks is the
present Acknowledgements of Louisiana?
And with North Louisiana and New Or
leans in the condition depicted by the
Telegraph, and with the Knobloch intlu-
ence gone i'll South Louisiana, what is more
probable than that the Observation-Disclosures
may conclude to swap horses, even though
they arc crossing the political stream?

Major w. A. Freret Of New Orleans
pointed Supervising Architect
Special to the ricaymnc.3


WASHINGTON, July 20.-Major VIM! a.
Freret of New Orleans has been appointed
supervising architect of the treasury in
place of Nj. L. Bell of Iowa
1t is understood that the president and
Secretary Fairchild decided to make the
appointment a few days ago when these
two gentlemen met at the sccretary's homo
i'll the state of New York.
The secretary returned here to-day and
broke the news of the change to Mr.. Bell
who, later i'll the day, informed represent
tative of the press that he had been notified
that Major Freret had be en- selected as his
successor.
Major Ereret, it is said, has already been
communicated with. and his arrival here
is daily expected. The position pays $4,000
year and is a most responsible one. In
deed, so great is the amount of work that
many efforts have been made in Congress
TO have the salary increased, but the eco
nomists on the appropriations committee
have not listened to the appeals made.
Many prominent architects have wanted
the place, more for the prestige, perhaps
than tho salary, and there were more than
fifty applications, including some of the
best known architects in the country.

VIENNA, Dec. Emperor Francis
Joseph, will preside at The military coun,
Gil which is to be held at the palace
to morrow for the purpose Of considering
what steps are necessary in view of the
collection Russian of troops on the front
Ter.
PARIS, Dec. According to private
advices from Warsaw the massing of Rus
sian troops on the frontier is attributable
to information received by Russia of a
concerted plan by Germany and Austria
for united action in the event of war be-
tween either of those powers and Russia.
In that contingency it was proposed that
Germany aud Austria should suddenly
invade Russian Poland and occupy War
saw by using greater facilities for mobili-
lzing. IN consequence of the discovery
of this alleged project Russia resolved to
compensate for her slow power of mobili
cation by permanent increase of her from
tier forces. The movement implies no
aggression, but as purely defensive pre-
caution.
BERLIN, Dec. The National Gaz-
cite, discussing the Vienna FremdenbIatt's
article relating to the massing of troops
on the Russian frontier, says it is evident
that the force of Russian troops now in
Poland is not sufficient to attack two for
midable military powers. The present
masslng of troopsis too small for war and
too large for peace.
LONDON, Dec. THE London stock
markets and the bourses of Paris, Berlin
and Frankfort are weak. The bourse at
Vienna is excited. The markets are af-
fected by the reports concerning the
movements of the Russian troops on the
Austrian frontier.

marked that the rule was when bills are

work. He therefore moved that the sen

temporarily to permit Mr.. Plumb to offer
a resolution calling on the commissioner
of agriculture for information as to
whether any per,on in the employment OF
that department making experiments as
to thess manutacture Of sugar from sor-
ghum had obtained or applied for a pat
ent or patents connected with such manu-
facture and growing out Of such expert
